sharp lower back pain?

katm44 · July 2011

Just curious if anyone else has experienced this...

I keep getting a sharp pain in the left side of my lower back. Way low down, almost in my boo-tay. It tends to go along with sitting or laying a certain way. I know your sciatic nerve can cause this kind of pain during pregnancy, but I thought it was too early for that? I'm not too concerned about it at this point, but just wondering if anyone else has had it or knows what it is...

With my first LO, I had sciatic pain early on, then never again. I would say 10 weeks or so?

I've had sciatic pain since day 1.....I've been going to a chiropractor and today I will start physical therapy. It has helped because in the beginning I didn't know how I was going to get through the rest of my pregnancy

Thanks ladies! Glad to know I'm not completely crazy in thinking that's what it could be.

Is it your sacrum? https://www.google.com/imgres?q=sacrum&um=1&hl=en&safe=active&sa=N&biw=1280&bih=685&tbm=isch&tbnid=3A3H9ZOiEyaafM:&imgrefurl=https://teamdenise.org/2009/04/pet-scan-2-results/&docid=ksqZvLjUM8iBaM&w=780&h=1500&ei=Lqc2TvWgOonkiAL43ti5CA&zoom=1

During my last pregnancy, and again with this one I have sacrum pain in the first and third tri (worse in the first). It's aggravated by lots of bending, lifting, and stair climbing.

We went camping this weekend, and in between all the packing, then a 5 hour drive Fri, Sat, and another on Sunday, I was in soo much pain yesterday evening--like limping around. Today it still hurts some, so I'm going to try to take it easy.

Sitting on a yoga ball vs a chair helps a lot...and not bending over, or picking things up helps.

It's more to the side, so I don't think that's what it is. Having it on the side is what made me think it might be my sciatic nerve. The yoga ball definitely sounds like a good idea though, so I will try that either way!

After reading the other women's posts I'm wondering if this time it's sciatic pain, since it is almost entirely on the right side. I've done prenatal massage, and that does help, but I think I will try a chiropractor this time.
